What are the saddest movies ever created?

Question

Here are a few very sad and moving films that I have seen before- please add your own.

1. The Deer Hunter
2. Monster
3. Dead Man Walking
4. Terminator II- Judgment day
5. Old Yeller
6. Bless the beasts and the children
7. The Last Samurai
8. Barnyard (Dude! It was sad aboot you know who!- Don't wanna spoil it for others by saying who it is)
9. Apocalypse Now
10. Sniper
11. Scarface
12. The Green Mile

I know Scarface is not usually what people think of as a sad movie- but I saw it again the other day on TV, and I was saddened by Tony Montana's death. I mean, he had it all, but he died ruthlessly young. He lived too fast. I thought it was sad, because even though he was a criminal, he wasn't (in the movie at least) a really bad, evil person. You know what I mean? He was greedy and jealous of his sister...and yeah, he killed some people, too...yet it's sad how he died so fast and suddenly. Right? ?

Answer 3

Here's some of the ones that made me cry, and I'm a macho man, lol:

-Forrest Gump (Poor Bubba -.-)
-Bicentennial Man (He only wanted to be human!)
-I Am Sam (Wow, just wow, amazing film)
-A Beautiful Mind (Genius has it's problems)
-Arlington Road (I was actually more depressed and angry)
-What Things May Come (Makes you think really hard)
-The Mission (Extremely powerful, a great film)
-Where The Red Fern Grows (I love dogs -.-)
-Mad Max (Cops have hard lives)
-Hotel Rwanda (That really happened -.-)
-Tears Of The Sun (Tears from my eyes)
-Platoon (You get suicidal by the end of the film)
-Gladiator (Maximus was the best hero ever!)
-Braveheart (William Wallace, the savior of Scotland!)
-The Patriot (If you lose 2 sons and a daughter in law...)
-The West Side Story (Yep, old but still just as sad)

There's many more that I could name, but I would have to say that those are probably the top ones on my list.

Well, just remembering all those made my day a little bit more depressing, but I hope it helped.

Answer 4

Dead Poets Society
A Beautiful Mind
Mr. Hollands Opus

Answer 5

Midnight Express. A true story to make it even worse. If what you listed are movies you concider sad, this one blows them out of the water. It's an older movie from maybe the 70's about this young American guy who gets thrown into a Turkish prison for 7 years. I'm telling you, it's worse than Apocalypse Now.

Answer 6

Saving Private Ryan

Answer 7

The Bicylce Thief
Sophie's Choice
Betty Blue

Answer 8

Shawshank Redemption, Brother, Dumbo, Bambi

Answer 9

Hands down "Mysterious Skin". Check it out if you want to hate the world for days. The Notebook isn't sad b/c it has a happy ending. Anything with a happy ending should be immediately cut out. Holocaust movies are too obvious.

Answer 10

1. Nester the Christmas Donkey
2. Charlotte's Web
3. Bambi

For crying out loud, our parents let us watch this horror on tv when we were 4 and 5 yrs. old and they show them in school! The first time I saw OLD YELLER, I was in 6th grade, AT SCHOOL, and I DID CRY. Today I own a grooming/boarding shop and own 9 dogs!!! And I don't hunt. And I think it's bad luck to kill spiders, lol.
